The Alphabet King


I am the Alphabet King! I can do anything!


I can compose a beautiful song that can calm the savage beast
Gather the entire alphabet together and then form a masterpiece
I can take the letters from A to Z and create an epic tale
Take a literary catastrophe and reconvey it well
I'll toss you and I'll turn you and I'll leave you in a twist
There's no one you can turn to who's better than me at this
I'll take a letter from here and I'll add one there
And before you know it I'll have something rare
I'll put Z in the beginning and send A to the back
And C would be in the middle in no time flat
I'll take M from the center and send it towards the front
And let the other 22 do whatever they want
I can take the life story of an average fella and write a hit
Take a New York Times best seller and spice it up a bit
Yes, my words they astound
And it deserves to be said
I make nouns get down
And verbs dance on one leg
I'm superb it's not hard to see
To verbally attack me would be a slaughter
I use adverbs remarkably
And put adjectives in order
Anything that you can do I can do better
I taught Shakespeare how to be smooth and put his words together
I've got so many angles to convey what I have in store
I control language in a way that no one ever has before
I gave Oprah and Hillary the gift of gab and taught Ali how to rhyme
My poetry makes miserable people laugh and turns grief into sunshine
While I survive I'll keep hope alive and work hard til I'm stiff
Keep my heart open wide and thank God for the gift
Never take life too seriously it's all a diddle
But a better life you may live if you can solve the riddle
And as you sit and ponder
I'll lay back and bask in the sun
I hold the crown til I'm six feet under
You can have it back when I'm done…
